7040 switch wireless

I try to get switching wireless enabled on a desktop computer microphone 7040.  Previous models and our laptops have the option, so on a wired connection, the wireless connection is disabled.  We need this as a security measure, because the devices can maintain a connection on the wire to my network, as well as through radio to our connection WiFi Public, actually open the door to any attack that get by our AV/FW/IPS systems.

I tried the latest version of the driver, and I don't see in BIOS either.  Dell has taken this option?

Thanks... c.George

To answer my own question...  Install the last toolkit administrator Intel for wireless connectivity has allowed me to create a driver package custom hard coding the option to switch wireless.  I tested it on a device connected to my Wi - Fi audience, and once a cable is plugged in, the Wi - Fi has been disabled in a few seconds.

Here is the link that I read this from... > www.intel.com/.../000005972.html

  • Satellite E205-S1904 - switch wireless works do not (not light)

    Hi ~ I have a SAT E205-S1904 and he died a few months ago. I took it to be fixed and they said it was a software problem and that fixed it.

    Before I took it in my switch wireless did work. Now, there is no light, and it does not have the kid who fixed, he says the material was very well and he couldn't understand why it wasn't. I have a WiFi connection in my house, what makes this laptop completely unusable for me. I have windows 7 on it.

    What Miss me?

    How should we know what are you missing?
    I put t understand how it stopped working suddenly.

    Question is: what did you do with your machine?

    Also, I think it's software related, but on this virtual path issue, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. Fact is that this function is controlled by software that runs in the background. Maybe you stopped him somehow.

    What you can do is to reinstall the OS again and again test the functionality with the factory settings.

  • Seeing light, cannot turn on wireless capability switch wireless

    I currently have a Sony Vaio laptop, running Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. Today I came from work and my wireless connection has been disconnected. That morning, everything was beautiful and functional properly. I noticed that the led next to the switch wireless off even if the switch is turned on. I tried jiggling the power switch on the front of the laptop but the light does not. When I troubleshoot the network adapter, it says "Activation of the wireless feature. When I go on the VAIO Smart Network, wireless LAN is turned on but the status says offline. I am at a loss for what to do, I rebooted, restored and turned off my phone for a while. I even reset my wireless router to attempt to repair if all goes well, something. If there is anything I can do to solve this problem, assistance would be very welcome.

    Thanks in advance!

    Have you checked the device wireless in Device Manager?

    Open run then type devmgmt.msc, then disable the check provided for in the network to see if the device is either missing or reports an error.

    If it is disabled, then try to activate again.

    I had one turn off wireless device become and fails because of a windows update.

  • X 60 micro-switch wireless

    I have a X 60 (1706) who is really old and worked many years. In my view, that the micro switch wireless failed on this subject. Mechanically, it works but I guess there not electronically. I had problems with slot and turned off (no pun intended) with it for a few months. I disassembled the laptop, and it seems that the switch must be replaced. In Linux live boot CD, it says that the wireless switch is turned off.

    I guess that the part is not a FRU. Is this correct?

    A replacement motherboard is the only thing?

    @hausman, it's just the plastic switch. Current electronics of the switch is soldered to the motherboard, and it is not considered a FRU.

  • No switch wireless on Satellite Pro A60

    I just bought (second hand) a satellite pro A60EN PSA65E 01HOOU8K model number. There is just a cavity where the wireless communication switch should be. Does this mean that I can't use a wireless router?

    Hi David

    Some of the Satellite Pro A60 was delivered with a minPCI wireless network card and some do not support the WLan functionality.
    It seems that you have one that does not support the WLan. This is why you must use an external solution such as WLan USB stick

  • Equium L40 - switch wireless and F8 command does not

    Hello world

    I have problems with the wireless button after I took my laptop apart to clean. The wireless button won't light up at all and only would light up. When I press fn f8 nothing happens. I don't know what I did. The wires are correctly in place, as far as I can tell. I tried the following things:

    Uninstalling the card in the Device Manager and reboot
    Checked adapter is listed as working properly
    Do a system restore
    Check the BIOS

    I don't know what to do else would appreciate pointers. Thanks in advance!

    > I'm not sure what I've done.
    And what to say about that now?
    You, as the owner of the laptop, are not allowed to disassemble the laptop. You did this at your own risk. To be honest I n know how to help you now.
    > When I press fn f8 nothing happens
    I believe you that. You must activate the WLAN using the WLAN switch first. Place it in the position YOU. After doing this, you have to press FN + F8 and not only F8.

    When you do this you find flash cards and options for the WLAN?

  • Satellite A60: Switch wireless on the side is taken on

    Hi I have a laptop Satellite A60, I want to turn on my wireless LAN but the switch on the side is covered on as it is just for show. I to believe I can turn it on, the symbol to the fron and the on / off on the side, but as I said is covered more and not a switch like showld be. Theis means I can't get a wireless connection or is it a fault in Notepad? Help, please.
    Thank you very much

    I don't have an answer, I just want to share your frustration. Recently I got a wireless home hub, but I can't go to this topic with my A60.
    I also have the light at the front and the switch sheets on the right and a manual that talks about wireless LANs in bright tones.
    I was led to believe it was active wireless, but it isn't!
    Sometimes even with a graphic 'research Wireless' but it is useless if it doesn't have what it takes to work [when it is in. the wireless Hub].

  • Equium A80-132: Configfree said switch wireless turns off when it is

    I got my A80-132 14 months and it don't did me not a bit of boredom. I didn't need help before so this is my first time on the forum and it seems very useful. Congratulations to all.

    Anyone know how I can get ConfigFree to recognize my wireless card is turned on? Despite the fact that my wireless put in place works perfectly, ConfigFree reports that it isn't and that the wireless card switch is in the off position. While not essential I think ConfigFree a useful piece of software (when he's not working) and I would go to the bottom of this.

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Hello

    > Please activate the wireless communication switch, which I am still unable to find

    I can't believe that! I'm 100% sure that the WLan switch is available if the laptop comes with the WLan card.
    I put t know why you do not find the Wlan switch?  :| Are you blind to the wlan switch ;)?

    Sorry, just kidding

    The M40X must support a Wlan switch on the right side near the headphone and microphone jack!

    Please check and if necessary activate!

  • Switch wireless on Satellite Pro A60

    I'm trying to connect wireless using services to BT Broadband on my laptop, but fell at the first hurdle. Apparently, there's a switch on the left side of the laptop that must be on to enable a wireless connection. My laptop has room for the switch, but not switch. If anyone can help?

    Hello

    The Satellite notebooks come with a different hardware configuration.
    Sometimes different series use the same notebook covers.

    After a lengthy investigation on the internet I discovered that the Satellite Pro A60 was delivered without the LAN card internal minPCI and it seems that the WiFi network is not extensible.

    It seems that your only option to use WLan on your laptop.
    I advise to use the WLAN USB key or card PCMCIA Wlan.
    I tend to the USB ;)

  • Lenovo Ideapad Y450 switch wireless works not

    Hello

    I bought an Ideapad Y450 is about 2 weeks and for the first time I tried to use wireless, it did not work. There were other additional software that I added such as Firefox and microsoft office 2007 at the time wherever I checked the wireless feature. Ichecked the on Device Manager (Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN) network adapter and it seemed to work fine.

    Later, I uninstalled the ReadyComm 4.0 software and internet Norton Security. I switched to AVG Antivirus. For some reason, the front switch and the Fn + F5 started working and I was delighted. Unfortunately, the next day, the wireless radio just stopped working. The front switch and the shortcut (Fn + F5) no longer work. I called technical support and asked me to reinstall the driver for the network card - did not work. I rebooted the computer on safe mode - didn't work. I guess something must have been installed automatically via windows update.

    I'm trying to avoid having to use the recovery key to activate the computer back to the factory settings (I did not a recovery yet disc).

    I hope that someone has experienced the same thing before and could help me.

    I could understand not just what prevents the computer to turn on the wireless capability. I know that the switch works because one day when he did. Or is the switch just partially broken?

    Thank you very much for all your suggestions. I should have updated all the you what happened to my laptop. What I did about a month and half ago was so I used the one key recovery option offered by Lenovo to restore my laptop to its factory settings. I lost all the software that I installed in my laptop, but it was worth it. My wireless and bluetooth works now. I can turn them on and off. The switch works. The Fn + F5 shortcut works. I backed up all my files until I reinstalled my whole hard drive so that the process was not too painful for me.

    Right now, I have Lenovo ReadyComm 4.0 in my computer and in some sort, it has not been any problem with my wireless connection. If all goes well it will never.

    Thanks again for your help!
